Air Inuit today announced the first of three Boeing Next-Generation 737-800s acquired in 2023 entered into service, arriving at Kuujjuaq Airport today with its inaugural delivery of essential freight to be distributed in communities across Nunavik.
The B737-800 has been outfitted to serve exclusively as a freighter aircraft with a main deck cargo door, operating primarily between Montreal and Air Inuit’s cargo hubs in Kuujjuaq and La Grande. The newly added aircraft has a capacity of 23,000 kilograms.
As part of its ongoing fleet modernization program, Air Inuit will eventually phase out its B737-200s which are being replaced with three B737-800 NG aircraft to improve passenger experience, ensure reliable freight delivery and reduce fuel emissions by nearly 40 per cent.
